Thank you for the new version. Unfortunately, bug #19268 isn't
resolved yet, so a simple "gem update" still fails on many Windows
installations.

In the bug report, it is suggested to simply continue after an
installation error. A better solution would be to introduce an
additional option for the update command ("--native", "--precompiled",
or something else) to only use gem versions with a precompiled binary.

For example, if I have installed hpricot 0.5 and issue "gem update
hpricot --native", it should update to hpricot 0.6 but not to hpricot
0.6.161.

Regards,
Pit
